Rough Ears in dreams
Listening — what you have been letting in.
How rough changes the reading
The base reading of Ears
An ear in a dream is the dictionary's image of listening. Hearing clearly is the dream confirming that you have been receiving the situation accurately. Hearing muffled or distorted sound is the dictionary's image of something in your environment that you have been processing in a partial way.
Where you often see it. An ear listening at a door. Your own ear ringing in a quiet scene. Ears blocked or amplifying. The dream uses ears for listening — what you have been letting in.
What it is not. An ear is not always about literal hearing. The dictionary reads ear scenes as questions of attention.
Related in the dictionary. Read ear with mouth (the matched function), silence, and any scene where something said is being heard or unheard.
